Watson did so good his first night! He is the right puppy and I think Winston's in him some way.
I had this copy paper box that I put a towel in and thought he would sleep in this on the bed where Winston's pillow is (between H's and my pillows) until he is big enough and can sleep on the pillow w/o us worrying he will fall off the bed (or potty on the bed). I put him in that in the center of the bed when we got home. Immediately, he jumped out and scrambled up to and on Winston's pillow and laid down! This is where he's been hanging out -- just like he knew that's the place for the golden child.
We have this soft canvas and mesh small pet carrier and what I did is wait until he falls asleep, put him in that and zip it then put him on the pillow in it. He woke up to go potty around 1am, and fussed slightly after I put him back in before bedtime and after potty but I just unzipped it enough to reach my hand in and pat him and he snuggled my hand and fell back asleep within seconds! Our grown dogs wake us up in the middle fo the night 9 times out of 10, so Watson is really like honor roll material for only waking us up 1x last night!
We just love him so much already!!! It's beyond words!!! Thanks for looking at him and for all your kind words to me about Winston. Watson's got some big shoes to fill, but he is off to the most perfect, fairy tale level start. He is just too perfect of a baby bear to be anything other than God sent.
